STOCKTON - A man who was fired upon by someone in a green Jeep Cherokee decided to follow the vehicle, only to be shot at again, police said.

The victim was driving near Janell Lane and Ashlynn Way just before 10:40 a.m. Tuesday when the Jeep went speeding past and turned a corner. The victim heard a loud boom and went to see what happened; as he did, he saw the Jeep waiting nearby, and someone pointed a handgun at him and fired several times, striking the victim's driver's-side door.

The Jeep drove off, but the victim wanted a better description of the car, so he drove around looking for it, police said.

As he drove on nearby McDougald Boulevard, the Jeep pulled in behind him, and a passenger fired a handgun several times, striking the car's trunk.

The victim said three men were in the car. The first was said to be Latino, 27 to 29 years old, 6 feet tall and 200 pounds; the second was Latino, 24 years old and 180 pounds with slick black hair and a short beard; and the third was Latino, 20 years old and 180 pounds with short hair.
